Hiroshi Yamauchi Passed Away 19/09/2013

[Hakudamashi]

Third president of Nintendo who was succeeded by Satoru Iwata passed away at age 85 due to pneumonia.

As this is the man who converted Nintendo from a trading card company into a video game company, hired the likes of Shigeru Miyamoto and such, and oversaw the development of the NES, SNES, N64, and gamecube, it is indeed a sad day in history.

I can only hope he didn't suffer, and I wish his family all the best.

RIP Yamauchi. May Nintendo live, even though you've died.
